I attended service at a church here in town with my football team as part of the itinerary for pre-season camp. After hearing the message from a guest speaker, the pastor of the church took up an offering. I knew I was supposed to support this woman’s ministry, the only problem was I was just about broke for the month. I opened up my wallet and put five of my last dollars in the offering bucket. Even though it was only five dollars, it was money that I really needed for essential stuff like gas and food. I just had a confidence that God was going to bless me for what I gave, even if it was a relatively small amount. In less than one weeks time from giving that five dollars, I have received well over $150 unexpected. I randomly won a contest and was given money from numerous people. I also had a family member buy groceries for me, which was also unexpected. I already knew that God rewards us when we give, but the sheer randomness of the financial blessing I received blows me away.
